This evening:
Prep: Hot shower
Razor: Feather Artist Club RG (wood), Pro blade (1)
Brush: Neep #947 yew silvertip badger
Soap: Vitos Supercrema
Aftershave: Prof Blighty's Red Ginger
Result: pretty good
A little weeper - not unusual for me with a brand-new blade - but otherwise pretty good. The red ginger is nice but, I think, not as nice add the other two Blighty aftershaves I've tried - which is a commitment to them rather than a condemnation of this.
The corpus was a PIFfed sample lump that Kev... incredibly kindly sent me, along with much other goodness, when I first joined the forum not far off a year ago. I finally tried it for the first time tonight. It's bloody good. Thanks Kev!
